I saw this via Animenation.comApparently Geneon is selling (quite! ) cheaper Region 1 NTSC DVDs of the OVAs.This is good news for those people that didn't get (or afford ) the OVA special edition box.For what I can tell OVA1 comes in 2 volumes and OVA2 in one volume (just like the OVA special edition box). However it seems that they are sold separately only (they may release a bundle...?).

I didn't find a picture of the OVA2 DVD, but here are the others:As you can see, no big difference on the covers (same usual Hanken Cels used in a different disposition).However I'd like to see if the OVA2 cover surprises me, like the one found by Nepotism Chainsaw (there aren't many Hanken Cels from OVA2 around).

|D Oh yeah. I was ready to break out the champagne (if I had any) when I saw it on Amazon, and now I'm counting down the days till it gets here. I actually haven't seen it in years. Someone absconded with my VHS copies a long time ago, and that absurdly priced box set was never in the budget. I'm planning an all-day El Hazard party when the second volume comes out!

A small update. Animenation is selling the OVA 2 DVD, but they don't have a pic of it nor many details:

Funny enough, if you go to their El-Hazard DVDs page, they are not selling the OVA1 vol. 1, i.e. they have only the OVA1 vol. 2 and OVA2 DVDs (and Geneon hasn't announced the OVA2 DVD yet). Forget what I said above. On the OVA 2 DVD Page says:

After owning the OVAs on VHS for god knows how long, I finally bought the first OVA discs this week. As far as I can tell, it has the same easter eggs as those reported in the original box set release. Maybe they are the same discs?

So even the menus are the same? Do you have all 3 disks already?If you have the OVA2 dvd, could you post the cover?
